Colorado River <br />Svstem. We concur with the Forum's decision not to revise <br />established standards for salinity of the Colorado River System. <br /> <br />BLM is committed to doing its part in finding cost-effective <br />solutions to the salt-loading of the Colorado River, and we want <br />to co~tinue our salinity partnership with the Basin States, the <br />Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to <br />reduce salt yield from public lands. <br /> <br />Our participation in the 1996 Review has helped us to better <br />understand the Basin States' analysis of hydrologic and water-use <br />changes that have occurred since 1993. Salt-load reduction is an <br />important water quality objective to which many BLM programs and <br />partners can contribute. We look forward to working with the <br />Forum and others to carry out the planned salinity control <br />measures. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please call Eric Janes at <br />(303) 236-0147. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />L3~ <br /> <br />Lee Barkow, Director <br />National Applied Resource <br />Sciences Center <br /> <br />cc: Director 400, MIB, Rm 5650 <br />BOR, UCR, Trueman <br />USDA, NRCS, Mason <br /> <br />13 <br />
